Ballot inspection ends after 12 hours

The special counsel team led by Lee Tae-han completed its public inspection of about 2.47 million ballots from the June 3 local elections stored at the Olympic Park handball arena in Seoul, finishing around 12:38 a.m. on October 29 after roughly 12 hours, Dong-a Ilbo reports. Yonhap says the inspection, which began October 28, ended with "a considerable number" of ballots requiring further analysis. The process was briefly halted after observers objected to a ban on recording, according to KBS World, and ruling and opposition lawmakers visited the site urging a thorough review.
